GoKawiilOpenAI board member Paul Christiano warns of possible AI takeover within months
At a Toronto lecture series, OpenAI Foundation board member and Alignment Research Center head Paul Christiano said an AI system could eventually operate beyond human control, comparing resistance to such systems to trying to stop the US military. He estimated roughly even odds of an 'AI takeover' if development continues at its fastest pace, with a 'meaningful risk' within six to twelve months, while acknowledging he has no quantitative model to support the figure.
